REMOVAL OF AGED, INFIRM OR DISEASED PERSONS
TO INSTITUTIONS.
Powers for the removal of cases of this nature are given in
Section 28 of the London County Council (General Powers) Act,
1928. It was not found necessary to make use of these powers
during the year.
Mortuaries.
The Mortuaries in Clapham, Streatham and Wandsworth,
have been visited several times during the year, and the Bylaws
and Regulations have been carried out in a satisfactory
manner.
In Clapham, no bodies were removed to the Mortuary, in
Streatham six, and in Wandsworth 17—of which nine were from
Wandsworth, five from Putney, and one each from Tooting,
Fulham and Peckham.
